Got ahold of some 3/32 rod.
I think it’s time to scrap this pipe for a new practice piece. 130 amps 120 hertz 35 balance 19 cfh Number 6 cup 3/32 2 percent lanthanated tungsten.

This is the third one in.. sorry for all the welds on this pipe.

@Grant Pratt I definitely have the penetration divided in the middle. I will try and let it sink in better, I do back up into the weld after restarts but I will try and let that penetrate in there better. Thank you for your help!

2nd cube
125 amps-struggled on the pedal with heat at the end of runs. 150 hertz 3/32 2% lanthanted tungsten 1/8” 4043 filler rod. #6 cup on 18-19 cfh I did clean up the corners before I gave it to a co worker. I also have a video of all welds. Had to cut out two of them and redo them so they got a little wider and grainy.

@Grant Pratt it’s the second one from the top. The top weld isn’t one of mine, although I do have a lot of training on this pipe. The top weld has zero penetration.

@Grant Pratt ok, this was with 3/32, should I up my amps? Maybe slow down? I also didn’t run a bevel and I have in the past.

More practice today.
Still can’t wrap my head around tacking. If I tack on the very sides I am fine. But if I tack about a millimeter from the side it just burns through. Settings are 120 amps 120hz 3 seconds post flow. 1/16 blue tungsten 1/8 aluminum. And I realize I went too cold in the second pic

I like to build cars. My goal is to become skilled with tig welding so I can build cold sides and exhausts for turbo cars.
